Two Funny Comedies "Talladega Nights" and "Wedding Crashers", but only one is a good movie

The Wedding Crashers – 3 stars (good)

Talladega Nights: The Legend of Ricky Bobby – 2 stars (Average)

There are comedies that make you laugh, that do not make good movies because they can be a useful substance or lack of worthwhile message. An example would be "Talladega Nights: The Legend of Ricky Bobby" worth a few laughs with Will Ferrell as Ricky Bobby, but not in a position that gives you emotionally involved in a sign of distress.

Then there are comedies that make you laugh, seemingly to have a lack of substance, but slowly you move into a character, as you may be emotionally involved with his situation. An example would be "The Wedding Crashers" with Owen Wilson as John Beckwith.

So what makes a movie good, and another just average? The difference is in the script, direction and acting.

For door was Talladega Nights by Will Farrell, who also plays the main role, and written by Adam McKay, the director. My experience is that when the director of a film also wrote the screenplay, the screenplay, the direction and the film all suffer most of the time. When the protagonist of the film is also a writer of the film, the situation is aggravated, like the blind leading the deaf through a minefield.

Both Farrell and McKay tried to tell a story with their comedy, but fail because not only the incredible comedy, but the character of Ricky Bobby is not sympathetic enough to convince us that there is human drama here.

McKay joins a long list of other writer / directors who have bombed in this dual role, including Vanessa Parise (terrible rating) for Kiss the Bride, Peter Weir (average rating) for Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World; Nancy Myers (average rating) for Something's Gotta Give, Thomas Bezucha (average rating) for The Family Stone, Michael McGowan (average rating) for Saint Ralph, Jared Hess (terrible rating) for Napoleon Dynamite, Robert Rodriguez (terrible rating) for Once Upon a Time in Mexico, and Paul Thomas Anderson (terrible rating) for Punch-Drunk Love.

Exceptions to this dual role as writer / director Kirk Jones are (excellent rating) in Waking Ned Devine, and Tim McCanlies (excellent rating) for Second Hand Lions. Both Jones and McCanlies are master storytellers in these films and other writer / directors who could have failed to learn a lot from them.

The Wedding Crashers, another funny comedy is exactly the opposite of Talladega Nights this Steve Faber and Bob Fisher, a good story to tell, and David Dobkin is to direct a good comedy. Their efforts come together, because Owen Wilson as John Beckwith is personable and has the play and the ability to emotionally connect with the viewer.

We can in his predicament-a life of joy and fun to watch at the expense of others, and then to develop a conscience, to the personal growth anticipated.

After taking advantage of so many beautiful, unsuspecting bridesmaids, he slows down enough to Rachel McAdams as Claire Cleary, who quit his sense of humor and lightness shares. The more he looks at Claire, the more he wants to look at Claire.

Claire is a person who has not discovered yet spoken is really a self-employed, dictatorial, manipulative, rich jerk, while John Beckwith appears worthless, but is missing and willing to change his habits.

It is interesting that Vince Vaughn as Jeremy Grey character, Beckwith wedding crashers partner and best friend, not nearly as sympathetic, although he also decides to marry immature, Claire's sister, Gloria Cleary dippy (Isla Fisher).

I saw the unrated and uncut version of Talladega Nights, and uncorked (not rated) version of The Wedding Crashers, the theatrical version was rated R for sexual content, nudity and foul language.

Despite the additional material not just shown in cinemas, and persistent sexual content and language, would I see Wedding Crashers again but would not see Talladega Nights again, if you offered to pay me.

Moviegoers are rarer than you might think, deceived, and it is evident at awards time. Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby, was nominated in 2007 for the Peoples Choice Award for Favorite Movie Comedy, but not to win. The Wedding Crashers was nominated in 2006 for the Peoples Choice Award for Favorite Movie Comedy and to win.
